Is it as simple he's too small to be a shooting guard, but is also not a true PG, since passes to teammates are required? I don't watch a ton of NBA, but there seems to be plenty of ball players who don't look deserving to be in the league. Russ is instant offense. He could easily be a reserve, and when it's time for some points, bring in the gunslinger. Similar to the Pistons back in the day with Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson.
